Software Testing, QA

Screenshots are needed for bug reports, user guides, figures of expected results, etc. Sometimes one screenshot is more useful than long confused description. In this post I gathered methods of screenshot creating which I use in my daily work.

I also use jing to make screenshots. I like it because it allows to make screenshots and even make small videos.

On the screenshots, it is possible to write small comments, put arrows,… I use it all the time.

The small videos are useful to show the test steps. Sometimes, a developer comes back to me saying that the issue cannot be reproduced, even when following the test steps mentioned in the issue. Then such a small video can useful. I also already used it to show that there are performance issues as there is a little timer.
